Deven Chandler from His Lost Mate by @kathykulig #RLFblog #PNR
Kathy Kulig shares details
about the creation of Deven Chandler in the book His Lost Mate.About the Book
Title: His Lost MateGenre: Paranormal RomanceAuthor: Kathy KuligBook heat level (Based on movie ratings): RHe lost her once hundreds of years ago. Now he must battle a new
entity. Will he lose her again forever?Archaeologist and
psychic Lauren Halpern embarks on a journey to uncover an ancient mystery in a
sultry and exotic jungle, but everything is getting in her way. Deven Chandler,
the drop-dead gorgeous leader of their excavation is a serious distraction she
does not need, and she’s desperately trying to guard her heart. But the heated
passion between them is undeniable, and they simply cannot find a way to stop
the inevitable. Lauren senses the supernatural connection between them holds a
secret deeper than the hot sex they’re trying to resist. And Deven, the
scientist that he is, simply won’t believe her esoteric beliefs or warnings.Once
they tumble into a sizzling affair the real trouble begins. From the ancient
ruins, a ghost of an ancient shaman appears. He lures them deeper to into the
jungle where lies the deadliest evil of all. When danger arrives, can Deven
learn to trust her and risk everything to save her?Introducing Deven Chandler
Name: Deven ChandlerAge: 32Gender: MaleBirthplace: NetherlandsProfession: Archaeologist/ProfessorEthnicity/Species (if not human): DutchDescribe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight.
Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: Tan, toned,
muscular build, 6’, rough hands from years of field work excavating
archaeological ruins.Who is the
significant other in your character’s life?Lauren Halpern, a graduate student from another college, is
doing field work on his excavation for credits towards her degree. There’s an
instant attraction the moment she arrives. The woman is hot, smart and sexy.
But he knows he should resist. As a professional, he shouldn’t allow it. There
are too many complications with the excavation—local authorities, potential
antiquity thieves, rumors of rebels in the jungle. The safety of the team and
his project is vital, his love life with a hot student is not priority. And now
there are a number of strange, unexplained events occurring around the ruins.
Not to mention his ex-fiancée has decided to join the team this time around,
and she has her own agenda besides adding to her collection at the museum.Tell us about this
character, please.Deven is rugged and sexy. A mix of outdoor adventurer and
smart professor, a bit like Indiana Jones. Although he was offered a
prestigious board position at a large museum, he turned it down to continue
traveling and working his projects in the jungle.How does your hero
dress? Archaeologist in the jungle, working on ancient ruins. Jeans or
khakis, no suits for this man. (unless he’s teaching at the university) He’s
not afraid to get dirty.Does he scrape by,
live comfortably, live extravagantly? He makes a comfortable wage. He works
at a university in Boston, has a nice condo there and owns a cottage on Cape
Cod. He’s most happy when he’s traveling and digging in ruins.On what special skills
does your character rely? He’s highly skilled at his job, good at working
with students and negotiating with foreign authorities. He’s all scientist, but
rugged to the bone, devoted and determined to uncover the mystery surrounding
his current project. But his flaw is not seeing a supernatural element closing
in on the ruins.What is your
character’s family like? He’s close to his family. His sister is also an
archaeologist, but more sensitive to the supernatural. She has experienced
ghosts at the ruins where she has worked. His parents live in the Netherlands.
They sold their home to provide college educations for their two children. Over
the years, Deven and his sister helped them purchase a home again.If someone from your
character’s past showed up, who would he most NOT want it to be, and why?
Sylvia, his ex-fiancée. Of course she decides to show up during this semester.
He can’t turn her away since her father privately funds most of these projects
for the college. He’s president of the board of the museum and part of the deal
is acquiring a collection of artifacts for his museum. Deven has a hunch Sylvia
has plans to acquire more than artifacts and that makes this trip more of a
complication than Deven wants to deal with. Especially since things are heating
up between him and Lauren.What past event
causes your character the most fear? In the jungle of a third-world
country, anything can happen. Danger can arise, natural and unnatural can
threaten lives deep in the jungle. Having local authorities shut down his
project is one fear, but having his team come to harm is another. Antiquity thieves, paramilitary groups,
desperate locals, wild life, and more can all be a threat to a secluded
archaeological dig. But there’s another threat, a supernatural one…What is your hero’s
biggest personal flaw? He and Lauren are connected to the jungle in a
supernatural way that he refuses to acknowledge. His seeing-is-believing,
analytical mind denies what is obvious. And that could be dangerous for all of
them on the team.What is your hero’s
breaking point? When Lauren goes missing. Can’t say more without a spoiler.About Your Writer
Why do you think your
writer chose to write about you?Kathy is a bit of an adventure herself. She’s traveled a
bit, explored the Mayan ruins in Tikal, Coba, and Tulum. She spoke to an
archaeologist (not me), when she decided to write this story. He even gave her
a Mayan artifact. The ruins must have inspired this story. I’m trying to
determine what happened to an entire culture that seemed to have vanished
hundreds of years ago. She asked the question: What if two Mayan lovers who
lived back then were faced with a tragic life event? Could their love survive
and they find each other again?What do you wish your
writer had not told others about you?Hmmm. I’m devoted to my work, okay, I’m a work-aholic, but
my job as an archaeologist and professor is important and rewarding. Sometimes
I’m stubborn and keep blinders on. I guess I need to be more open to the
esoteric world. I’m not comfortable with that. I’d rather go with facts and figures
and proven hypotheses.What other character
from your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?Perhaps my sister Sarita who’s working on a project in
Greece. Or the two young guys on the team Kyle and Justin.Why do you think your
writer loves to write?An archaeologist likes to uncover treasures and solve
mysteries. It’s a way we can connect with cultures to the past and better
understand them. A writer likes to tell
stories. The stories have to be told as they come to her, and she must love to
share them with others. It’s her way of connecting with people from the present
and also the future.Is there anything
you’d like to say to your writer?Thanks for writing my story and forcing me to face what I
swore I’d never have to. And for helping me find the woman I was meant to be
with always—my soul mate, my lover. From one work-aholic to another, get away
from your desk and work. Have more fun. When you return refreshed, write what
you’re most passionate about. You’ll always have new stories to share with
readers and fans.Buy This Book

Alain from Snow in July by @KimHeadlee #RLFblog #PNR
Interview with Sir Robert Alain de Bellencombre
This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell readers about himself or herself.Tell us about yourself, please.I am the second son of Comte Hugh FitzWalter, by his second wife, Comtesse Margaret. Formally I am called Sir Robert, but my kin and closest friends call me Alain. The “de Bellencombre” choice of surname refers to the village in which I was born, Bellencombre, in Normandy. My sword is pledged to the service of Duke William of Normandy, now styled King William of England by God’s grace through his victory at the Battle of Hastings. I fought in this battle too, as did my younger brother Étienne—though it shames me to admit that I was unable to save him from death at the hands of a ruthless Saxon foe.What inner doubt causes
you the most difficulty?In failing to protect Étienne, I failed our mother too, for
I had sworn upon my own life that I would guard his. Now I face a royally
commanded marriage, when all I would rather do is live and die by the sword,
and I fear that I shall not be able to protect my bride either. As a means of
dealing with my doubts, I have assumed the guise of a squire to scout the lady,
her lands… and the mysterious reports of hellish beasts and sorcerous acts that
the king’s regent has ordered me to investigate.Tell us about your
significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.The moment my eyes beheld my bride, her sweet angelic beauty
made me forget all my fears and doubts. And yet she seems to harbor grief and secrets—and
perhaps even doubts and fears—of her own. As a scout, I am accustomed to
ferreting out secrets, and so I shall learn hers, for I want nothing more than
to kiss away her grief and transform her tears into joy.What would that
person say about you?Lady Kendra would say that I am far too bold for a “squire,”
for when I am in her presence I am sorely tempted to act outside propriety’s bounds.
Thus far, I have restrained myself to offering her the gift of a single red
rose, but I fear even that was too brash a gesture, for it caused her to flee
my presence. I shudder to think how she will react when I confess my deception,
but as God is my witness, I shall do whatever it takes to make amends and earn
her forgiveness.If someone from your
past showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?My older half brother, Philippe FitzHugh, has ever feared
that I covet the title and lands he inherited from our father. Nothing could be
farther from the truth, but he has never believed my assurances, and he has
undercut me at every opportunity—even to the point of luring my first fiancée
into his bed. If I ever see either Philippe or Marie in this lifetime, it shall
be far too soon.Why are you happy (or
not happy) with the way your story ended?Ah, fair reader, that is for you to discover. I shall not
spoil it for you except to say that Kendra and I are both happy with our
story’s ending… though it did not come without terrible peril to our honor, our
lives, and even our very souls.About the Writer
Kim Headlee lives on a farm in
southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards,
and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go, but the cave and the
250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as the
mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet.Kim is a Seattle native and a
direct descendent of twentieth-century Russian nobility. Her grandmother was a
childhood friend of the doomed Grand Duchess Anastasia, and the romantic yet
tragic story of how Lydia escaped Communist Russia with the aid of her American
husband will most certainly one day fuel one of Kim’s novels. Another novel in
the queue will involve her husband’s ancestor, the seventh-century proto-Viking
king of the Swedish colony in Russia.For the time being, however, Kim
has plenty of work to do in creating her projected 8-book Arthurian series, The
Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, and other novels. She has been a published novelist
since 1999, beginning with the original editions of Dawnflight (Sonnet Books,
Simon & Schuster, ISBN 0671020412) and Liberty (writing as Kimberly
Iverson, HQN Books, Harlequin, ISBN 0373771347).YouTube video interview: http://youtu.be/DV5iKrEIROkWhat was your biggest
challenge in writing this book?Snow in July began in 1999 as a collaboration with a
longtime writer-friend, Patricia Duffy Novak. The plan was for her to write
Alain’s viewpoint while I contributed Kendra’s scenes, and we were going to
alternate between them. When life challenges prevented Patricia from
continuing, she gave me her blessing to finish the story, but since she had
already written about three chapters’ worth of Alain’s scenes, it took the
longest time for me to understand and internalize his character.Why did you choose
this character for the interview today?I had already conducted an interview in Kendra’s perspective
and wanted to let Alain have his say this time.When writing the
book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?The biggest surprise to me was how fast he fell for Kendra;
initially I had planned for the process to take longer for both of them. But
once he became smitten, then his central internal challenge revolved around
when and how he would reveal his true identity to her, which became a more
interesting storytelling choice while still balancing the sexual tension
between them.Why should readers
who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?Snow in July is a stand-alone story, so there’s no need to
worry about having missed backstory from another novel, and there’s no pressure
to invest in some unknown number of sequels. It’s a fun read with a lot of
heart and soul, it’s not graphic and so it’s even suitable for teens, and it’s
a great introduction to my style and the type of epic, legendary stories I love
to create.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your readers?Thank you so much for your interest in and support of my
work!About the Book
Title Snow in JulyGenre Historical Paranormal RomanceAuthor Kim Iverson HeadleeBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13 for combat
violence and brief intimacySir Robert Alain de Bellencombre
has been granted what every man wants: a rich English estate in exchange for
his valiant service at the Battle of Hastings. To claim this reward, the Norman
knight must wed the estate’s Saxon heiress. Most men would leap at such an
opportunity, but for Alain, who broke his vow to his dying mother by failing to
protect his youngest brother in battle, it means facing more easily broken
vows. But when rumors of rampant thievery, dangerous beasts, and sorcery
plaguing a neighboring estate reach his ears, nothing will make him shirk duty
to king and country when people’s lives stand at risk. He assumes the guise of
a squire to scout the land, its problems, and its lady.Lady Kendra of Edgarburh has been
granted what no woman wants: a forced marriage to an enemy who may be kith or
kin to the man who murdered her beloved brother. Compounding her anguish is her
failure to awaken the miraculous healing gift bequeathed by their late mother
in time to save his life. Although with his dying breath, he made her promise
to seek happiness above all, Kendra vows that she shall find neither comfort
nor love in the arms of a Norman…unless it snows in July.Alain is smitten by Lady Kendra
from the first moment of their meeting; Kendra feels the forbidden allure of
the handsome and courtly Norman “squire.” But a growing evil
overshadows everyone, invoking dark forces and ensnaring Kendra in a plot to
overthrow the king Alain is oath-bound to serve. Kendra and Alain face a battle
unlike any other as their honor, their love, their lives, and even their very
souls lie in the balance.BOOK TRAILER: http://youtu.be/vFsaD1jCLLUBuy This Book

Stacy McKitrick author of Blind Temptation #RLFblog #PNR
Stacy McKitrick author of Blind Temptation answers five easy
questions to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Stacy McKitrick fell in love with paranormal romance,
decided to write her own and found her passion in life. She used to work in
accounting, now she spends her time with vampires, ghosts, and aliens. Born in
California, she currently resides in Ohio with her husband. They have two grown
children.Who is your “book
boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?Gosh, I’ve had so many “book boyfriends” it’s kind of hard
to pick (it’s also hard to remember them all—bad me!). I guess the one that
stands out the most, though, would be John Matthew from the Black Dagger
Brotherhood series. I’ve liked him from the first moment I read about him and
loved, loved, LOVED his book (Lover Mine). Of course, now that I think about
it, I drooled a lot over Edward Cullen, too (the Twilight series introduced me
to paranormal romance and I was HOOKED!).Describe the perfect vacation.The perfect vacation is one where I don’t have to cook or
clean. Haha! I love going on cruises because I can visit multiple places and
only unpack once (the hubby and I already have three booked within the next 17
months). But I would love to stay at a place on the beach so I can sit on the
porch (or open the windows) and listen to the waves at night. Provided it’s
warm, that is!Tell us about your
favorite toy as a child.For my tenth birthday I got a Polaroid Swinger camera (see
this ad for it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7k2uwJmwxo).
I LOVED that thing. Instant pictures!! Yeah, now it’s a joke, but back in 1967
it was a miracle! I think I used up a whole roll on my birthday just taking
pictures of my friends. It was the best birthday present, ever. Well… until my
fifteenth. That’s when I got my telescope (I loved that thing, too and still
have it).What are your hobbies?Lately, all I do is write and read (because it’s fun, what
can I say?). But I have been known to crochet a lot in the past. I’ve made so
many afghans, I ran out of people to give them to. Same with pot holders and
doilies. I crocheted a tablecloth for my friend that took me a couple of years
to complete. Thought I was going to go blind (or get arthritis). I pretty much
quit after that project (except for crocheting the occasional scarf). But I’m
sure if one of my kids ever decides to get married and have kids, I’ll be
crocheting a blanket for the little one!When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?I like reading different stuff: paranormal romance, romantic
suspense, thriller, horror. Normally, my favorites are in third person with
multiple points of view. I say normally, because I do have some favorite series
that are in first person (urban fantasy or YA paranormal). I like some danger
in my books; they just make for a fun read. And the romances I read must end in
a happy ever after (no cliffhangers, please!!).About the Book

Diane Saxon author of Banshee Seduction, Montgomery’s Sin 1 @Diane_Saxon #RLFblog #shapeshifter
Diane Saxon author of Banshee Seduction, Montgomery’s Sin
Book 1 answers five easy questions to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Diane Saxon lives in the Shropshire countryside with her tall, dark, handsome husband, two gorgeous daughters, a Dalmatian, one-eyed kitten, ginger cat, six chickens and a lazy black Labrador puppy called Beau – a name she stole for her hero in For Heaven’s Cakes.After
working for years in a demanding job, on-call and travelling great distances,
Diane gave it all up when her husband said “follow that dream”.Having
been hidden all too long, her characters have burst forth demanding plot lines
of their own and she’s found the more she lets them, the more they’re inclined
to run wild.What’s your favorite down-home
family style meal?Although I’ve lived abroad for much of my young life and
still love to travel, there is nothing finer than a good old fashioned English
Sunday roast. A rib of beef, pink in the middle, Yorkshire pudding, roast
potatoes (crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle), leeks in cheese sauce,
carrots and broccoli with a good, savory gravyWhat is your go-to meal
when you dine out?I love food. I’m no connoisseur, but I would far rather have
a little bit of something really delicious than a whole heap of something just
for the sake of eating.If I’m given the choice when dining out, I will always
choose an Italian restaurant. I find it very difficult to choose, but I love a
tasty seafood risotto or a creamy tagliatelli.Tell us about your
favorite toy as a child.I still have my favorite toy. It’s tucked away in one of my
underwear drawers, so delicate now that I very rarely touch it. But, it’s
there, never to be thrown out. Threadbare and floppy, my little lambie has been
with me since I was probably four or five. It’s been all over the world with
me. Drowned in brandy on our return home from Germany, a straw filled toy, it
would never have survived if my Grandma hadn’t insisted on washing, washing,
washing it. I still fancy I can smell alcohol on it now. With both eyes
missing, a broken leg and the stitching gone from its mouth and nose, it’s
still one of my most precious possessions.What are your hobbies?Reading, writing, walking my Dalmatian and black Labrador for
miles, snorkeling and holidaying.What kinds of things do
you read when you’re researching a new book?It depends on what kind of book I’m writing. When I wrote my
sci-fi, Short Circuit Time, I spent a lot of research time reading Steven
Hawkins. For my upcoming book later this year, I’ve trawled the internet for
information on Black Hawk helicopters, their pilots and training.For Banshee Seduction, it was less reading but I had great
fun talking to a football agent, discussing game play with him and his football
friend, researching game-play, watching clips of games – it was no hardship,
really.About the Book

A Fading Amaranth by @Shauna_A_Knight #RLFblog #PNR
Shauna Aura Knight author of A Fading Amaranth answers five easy
questions to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Shauna Aura Knight
An artist, author, and presenter, Shauna’s work is inspired by magic and
awakening mythic imagination. She’s a fantasy artist and author of paranormal
romance and urban fantasy including Werewolves in the Kitchen, Werewolves with
Chocolate, A Winter Knight’s Vigil, and The Truth Upon Her Lips. Her
mythic artwork and designs are used for magazine covers, book covers, and
illustrations.She travels nationally offering
workshops on the transformative arts of community leadership, facilitation,
dreamwork, and personal transformation, and is the author of numerous articles
and books on those subjects. http://www.shaunaauraknight.comWhat is your go-to meal
when you dine out?Barbecue. I discovered that I have a number of food
intolerances that lead to brain fog, exhaustion, and depression, and I need my
brain at 100% to write and paint. Thus, pasta, pizza, and ice cream are all off
the menu. But barbecue…oh barbecue. Particularly brisket. I also like a good
ribeye. And fresh-squeezed orange juice is kind of like my ice cream these
days.Tell us about your
favorite toy as a child.Star Wars toys, particularly Luke Skywalker. I used to build
elaborate rebel bases out of mud and sticks. Probably won’t surprise you that I
also liked Legos a lot too! When I was thirteen, I started my own small
crafting business to save up money for a sword. It wasn’t quite a lightsaber,
but it was close enough.What are your hobbies?The word “hobby” and the word “work” definitely overlap for
me. I’m an artist and an author, and writing and painting are both things that
I do for enjoyment as well as professionally. One of the things I used to do
for fun is build replica Star Wars scenery for parties. I met up with a bunch
of Star Wars fans years ago and we started throwing parties at sci-fi
conventions; I was in charge of decorating the suite. Each year we’d get more
elaborate. Hoth, Dagobah Swamp, the Emperor’s Throne Room, the Trash Compactor,
Jabba’s Palace, and Cloud City and the Carbonite Chamber. For a while I had a
life-size replica of Jabba the Hutt living in my apartment. If anyone wants
pictures, just contact me, I have them on my portfolio.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?Definitely paranormal romance, particularly my go-to authors
like Emma Holly, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Karen Marie Moning. I’m also fond of a
good epic fantasy series. An old favorite of mine is the Dragonriders of Pern
by Anne McCaffrey.What kinds of things do
you read when you’re researching a new book?I love the internet. There was one day where I was
researching what I should call underwear in the 1940’s, how long it takes a
hunter to butcher a deer, and researching certain landmarks in New York City. In
fact, Google maps even allowed me to get both birds-eye and on-the-ground views
of Central Park, which allowed me to plan out a fight scene. I have another
vampire romance where the characters are questing for the Grail, so I have a
stack of books on Grail lore, but I was also online researching different types
of meteorites since some legends hold that the Grail is an emerald that fell
from the sky. In other words, I’m a big time geek when I’m doing research for a
new book!About the Book
